Better place your order quick so you can be in the second batch!
Second batch means that they take money for 500 orders ONLY. Then after shipping it they take money for the second batch.
Now I'm kinda in the first batch where only few lucky ones get the product, and the rest is doomed to wait whatever time is needed for the first 500 to reap the smoke out of their ASICs.
Meantime in August many new products can appear driving the price down. That's why kncminer want to secure all payments now.
ADDED: how about waiting for all the devices to come to Sweden before giving out to anyone?
No they need funds to develop an entirely new 28nm ASIC which can cost in the hundreds of thousands.
Asian chip manufacturers want payment before they manufacture ironically.
But f**k it, they should have expected you as well!
And aside from 500 initial pre order guaranteed positions, there are no batches per say, you're just in line dependant on purchase position. You really have read nothing but their initial offering way back before ORSoC came on board.
Do you even know who ORSoC are in this?!
